The Colt Model 1971 was an internal prototype developed in the early 1970s to modernize the service pistol, aiming to improve upon the M1911. Key design goals included enhanced maintenance with stainless steel, increased capacity via double-stack magazines, and improved safety with a DA/SA trigger. While it evolved into the Colt SSP for the M9 trials, it ultimately lost to the Beretta 92.
